本书围绕算法设计技术组织素材，对每种算法技术选择了多个典型范例进行分析。本书将直观性与严谨性完美地结合起来。每章从实际问题出发，经过具体、深入、细致的分析，自然且富有启发性地引出相应的算法设计思想，并对算法的正确性、复杂性进行恰当的分析、认证(Algorithm Design introduces algorithms by looking at the real-world problems that motivate them. The book teaches students a range of design and analysis techniques for problems that arise in computing applications. The text encourages an understanding of the algorithm design process and an appreciation of the role of algorithms in the broader field of computer science.
